People wishing to submit BSIPs first should propose their idea as github
issue first. After discussion you will be assigned a number for the bsip
and can send a pull request for your *draft*. Once consensus among
discussion particpants is reached, the status can be switched to
*final*. From this time on, major changes of the document will not be
permitted.
If the proposal requires a protocol upgrade, the proposal is considered *final*
only if shareholders have approved a corresponding worker or hard fork proposal.
If the proposal requires a protocol upgrade, the proposal is considered
*accepted* only if shareholders have approved a corresponding worker or
hard fork proposal. Informational BSIPs can only reach the *final*
state since their implementation is not enforced by the blockchain.
The BSIP process begins with a new idea for BitShares. It is highly recommended
